The secret to looking young, still to come, without breaking the bank. Coming up next, we’re going to check out some of Prevention Magazine’s top beauty picks.

[Female Newscaster]
Looking good on a budget, we’re always checking out things that keep us looking fresh-faced. Live from New York City, Prevention Magazine’s Rebekah George joins us now with more on what products you should use. Good morning, Rebekah.

[Rebekah George]
Good morning!

[Female Newscaster]
You are bright-eyed and bushy-tailed yourself, but tell us what we could use this morning and for the rest of our lives, really, what are the breakthrough products Prevention Magazine found.

[Rebekah George]
Definitely. Well, you know we think about signs of aging in terms of wrinkles. But we forget that brown spots can make us look up to 10 years older. And brown spots are really caused by too much sun, time in the sun, so listen up, California. At Prevention, we found this product from DDF, it’s their Discoloration Reversal-Pod™, Pods, to be really effective at breaking up those brown spots and giving the appearance of a nice, smooth, even skin tone. They contain breakthrough ingredients niacinamide and glucosamine, and they work really quickly and really effectively due in part to their delivery system. They have this sponge-like pod that you break open and you just rub onto the brown spot. And it helps the ingredients drive deeper into the skin. And that’s why women notice fewer brown splotches in as little as four weeks.

[Female Newscaster]
Wow, that’s amazing, and I know there are a lot of face creams on the market with hydroquinone, but this is another type of product.

[Rebekah George]
…which can be dangerous for your skin, and the glucosamine complex is what makes it extremely safe. So you’re not only going to get that radiant nice, even tone, but it’s also safe to use for your skin.

[Female Newscaster]
OK, Rebekah, where do you buy that kind of product and how much does it cost?

[Rebekah George]
Sure, it’s $72 and it’s available at Sephora.com or DDFskincare.com, and of course we have all of this information on prevention.com.

[Female Newscaster]
What about hair products? A lot of us are trying to make sure that our hair is having a good day.

[Rebekah George]
That’s true; we all want a good hair day, and you know with this product from Garnier Fructis, it’s their Body Boost Collection, and each shampoo and conditioner sells for $4, which is such a bargain. And they’re filled with good-for-you ingredients like ginseng and vitamins B3 and vitamin B6, so I say it’s like a smoothie for your scalp. It’s really nourishing your scalp and feeding your hair with good-for-you ingredients. And it also is silicone-free. So, you know how your hair can look nice and volumous at the beginning of the day and by noon it’s just flat as can be? Not with this product. You’re going to have a full head of hair all day; it’s going to look nice and bouncy.

[Female Newscaster]
And of course on a budget, what about the winners, Rebekah, for your 2009 Prevention Magazine Beauty Awards?

[Rebekah George]
Definitely. Well, we brought along some other winners… new from Anew, this was the best lip-treatment product. It’s their clinical plump and smooth lip system. It’s $25, and it contains retinol, and retinol is a fantastic ingredient for getting rid of the fine lines on your face. But here it’s available in this lip product. So it gets rid of those tiny little vertical lip lines we get that our lipstick can bleed into, and it also contains peppermint, which stimulates circulation and blood flow to your lips. So you have nice fuller lips. You want to apply this daily before you wear your regular lipstick and lip gloss, so it’s going to treat your lips so you have younger-, fuller-looking lips.

[Female Newscaster]
All right, Rebekah, great advice.

[Rebekah George]
And I also brought along another new favorite to show you…

[Female Newscaster]
OK, you only have, like two seconds…

[Rebekah George]
It's new from Maybelline®; it’s their Dream Liquid™ Whipped Foundation, and it mimics the effects of an airbrushed look. So, you get a nice, smooth, even skin tone, and it makes you have a nice radiant glow. But you can apply it just like your regular foundation, so it’s easy to use, and it’s under $10, so it’s a great bargain.

[Female Newscaster]
We love the bargains, Rebekah George, Prevention Magazine, thanks so much for joining us and showing us all those great products, too.
